[Solved] How can we get selected html text in kendo editor

[Lavanya]

Hi Team,

I would like to get selected text along with html tags but getting only plain text by using

editor.getSelection() or editor.getRange() methods. Please help me to get html selected text

Hello, Lavanya,

I am not entirely certain if I understand the exact requirement, however you can retrieve the parent element of the text node like this:

        var selection = editor.getSelection();
        console.log($(selection.anchorNode).parent()[0].outerHTML);

If you select the text and then click on the button, you'll see the following result in the console:
